Dear diary,
today I took the 80th and 81st souls. Not a very productive day, but at least there are only 19 more until I get to see him again. Of course, that stupid superhero- the Ice Raven, or whatever his silly name is, keeps getting in my way. Someday I’m going to give that boy what he deserves. They all call him a hero, but they have no idea what he’s doing to me. He’s keeping me ...
**Dear Diary,**
Today, as I sit in the darkness of my lair, I find myself reflecting on the events that have led me down this path of darkness and despair. They say that villains are born, not made, but I cannot help but wonder if perhaps it was the cruelty of this world that twisted my soul and turned me into the monster that I am.
From a young age, I knew that I was different. I was an outcast...
There’s a rope for you and I,
But I doubt you’ll dream of it first.
Did you know the taste of the boot?
The taste of iron?
It’s everything to me you know.
It’s written on the wall, you can feel it.
The scary, the horror, of what?
The speed in which young men run or in which you’ll run?
You’ll need to be faster than the clock if you want to survive. Book it through another alley, anoth...
Dear diary,
Because of some stupid feud, both R and D are alive, while my boyfriend is in the hospital.
I’m currently in the hospital, and the doctors say he’ll survive, however there will be permanent damage. They said they’ll have to amputate his leg.
I should’ve known G would do something stupid! This is my fault, I should’ve talked to him, stopped him! G is so kind, I should’ve known he’d do...
Dear diary,
R is a better leader than I am.
Sure, she almost killed him, but I was about to. If it weren’t for him neither of us would be walking out of that forest.
I should just let her lead. After that, I don’t know where I’ll go, just out of here.
First I have to wait for him though.
I won’t abandon him.
We shouldn’t have let any of The Villains watch our duel.
This is all my fault.
Pl...
Dear diary,
No no no he can’t die!
He wasn’t in the duel!
I didn’t mean to hit him!
I should’ve known he’d to this, I’m so stupid!
D didn’t almost kill him. He might die because of me. Not because of her. Me.
I understand why the others like her better. Is it really betraying me if I deserved it? I’ll let D lead, and I’ll get out of here, but first I need to see if he survives!
He better su...
Dear diary,
Couldn’t D and R just work out there differences by talking?! Why did it have to come to this?!
They’re both so kind, why can’t they just try? I don’t care about their history, what history is so terrible that they have to kill each other?!
Ro and Be knew this would happen, I saw the look they gave eachother! They didn’t do anything to stop it.
I’m not gonna be like them, I’m not g...
Dear diary,
I can’t believe it.
She LIED. R fucking lied.
I almost thought I could trust her again, but she’s exactly the same. Did you see the way she looked at me? That was hatred! Why is she angry at me, I should be angry at her.
Tomorrow at 6:00 AM we’re dueling. What is this, 1804? Shouldn’t she be more mature than this? The rest of The Villains want one of us to back out, but n...
Dear diary,
‘The people who hurt us are gonna regret what they did to us someday, someday they’ll all remember our names.’
That’s what R said to me, she wants us to use only our initials or common nicknames in these because ‘when the world knows our names, if someone finds this we don’t want them to know who it belongs to.’
Fine with me. Still not sure about the world knowing my name part though...
Dear diary,
SHE (refer to page 3) just joined the group. I can’t stop him, I mean her (old habits die hard) because someone I trust brought her in, and that would be bad leadership.
I can’t deal with her right now. Not after what I did. (Refer to page 12)
But she’s the one who joined, and she likes the others. Maybe we can restart? Two friends turned enemy’s turned villains.
I can give her a c...
